In 1976, The Apple 1 computer goes on sale for a retail price of $666.66. Steve Wozniak, who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs and designed that product, remembers the early days. (Video by Brandon Lisy) (Source: Bloomberg)

I remember reading in a book that Woz was so unassuming that he went to the bank to deposit 100 grand. He got in line with everyone else and patiently waited. When he handed the check for deposit, the teller thought he was trying to rob them. The manager came out and told Woz that there was no need for him to queue and he could just go to the manager directly if he's going to deposit large sums. And he replied "Why? Everyone else is standing in line". Also his daughter later said that she had no idea they were that rich when she was growing up. She thought they were just upper middle class. They lived in the same old house even when Woz had all those millions.

And there wouldn't have been Apple without Jobs. I owned a computer company in the late 90's at the age of 18. I had built my first computer at age 6. But being in the business I realized that computer "technicians" had no business skills and I spent more time running the business than messing with computers and I never got to do the fun stuff. I never invented anything like Apple and my computer business was sold due to me having a lot of health problems at an early age, I think because I was a lot like Steve Jobs. I still talk to some of my old technicians but they were like Woz. Some of them tried starting businesses and all failed. Woz might've invented the coolest thing but without someone to invent and grow the BUSINESS, Apple never would've became Apple without both of them.

All in perfect world it should be: American's love ambition. American's love innovation, building up industry and making a better lives for themselves. Americans love Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

​@@opts9 Sure. The set up is that in 1983, I was a poor artist living in Alaska. Due to my desire for an Apple II and noticing a photo of Steven sitting in a living room with no artwork on his walls, I decided to ship him a very large painting, titled "Gramps", of an old man sitting on a tomato truck, in exchange for an Apple IIe. I also included a program I had written on a borrowed Apple, which I hoped, with Jobs help, would make me millions. I dug deep into my finances to have the painting crated and shipped to California. A month later, I received this letter: "I'd like to thank you for sending "Gramps" and your 10,000 Faces program; I *do* like Gramps, and hope your programming work brings you great success. I regret that we won't be able to send the Apple IIe that you requested; you're right, I would like to help if I could, but we have a very strict policy that all distribution of our products must be handled directly by an Apple dealer, as this is the only way you can be assured of prompt and courteous service and support for your computer. You mentioned in your letter that "Gramps" is one of your favorite works and worth approximately $1000; I'd feel very bad about keeping your work and not offering the compensation you asked for, so I thought it best to return it to you, and let you have the chance to perhaps sell it and be fairly paid for your efforts. It is being shipped separately. Your interest in our products is very much appreciated; again, I wish you the very best. Sincerely, Steve (signed in felt pen) Steven P. Jobs Chairman Board of Directors Well I guess this was not as hard-nosed as I remembered. Now forty years later, I still have the painting and sell prints of it on my FineArtAmerica page. My plan is to put this letter up on eBay, now that I'm back in Alaska and looking to finance yet another great Apple computer...

I think someone must have slowed him down a little here to produce this video because he usually talks a lot faster than that. He's one of the nicest man you'll ever meet and one of the most caring people on the planet. I think this video really reflects the inner person that Steve Wozniak is and how he really really wanted to bring technology into the home.

+YSoSrs? If you were alive back then, you would of seen the reverse was true. The color IIgs with its superior hardware was a piece of crap next to the little closed Macintosh with its monochrome screen. It sounds counter intuitive, but it was true, because it was a paradigm shift. Mac OS was miles ahead of Apple ][ dos. The Apple ][ was stuck in the past while the Mac was a leap into the future. And its little mono screen was superior to the big fuzzy color tv screen, because its pixels were perfectly square, sharp, crisp and clean, compared to the tri-rectangular fuzzy pixel of a ][gs monitor. Back then I worked in a Software store and pirated the whole store... and had a Mac back at home. The only thing we did on the store ][gs was play Tetris and Hellcats over the Pacific. On the Mac you could do lasar desk top publishing... on the ][gs maybe a housewife could print out a shitty certificate in Certificate Maker.

People don't always recognize genius, and sometimes they recognize it, but aren't willing to take a chance on funding it. It takes a certain type of person to push new ideas, and that's what Jobs did. I'm not saying he was a good person, or that he could have done it alone, but he's had a HUGE impact on the world we live in, even without engineering chops. I've always been a huge fan of Woz (I grew up in the Bay Area where they were basically heroes), but Jobs was important too, even if he was a dick.

No telling. Woz is lucky Steve didn't steal the whole enchilada from him, like Mark Cuban did the technology for Broadcast.com. One things for sure : there's be no Apple computer without Woz. Period. Steve couldn't make a computer. Other people made the Mac, with Apple II revenue supporting the losing Mac division. Hey, I have three Macs, so I'm not an apple hater, but please.... Jobs was a marketer, and clever re-inventor. I mean cell phones and mp3's were around for 10 years, but he had the vision to put them together. but he's not Leonardo Davinchi. He's Mark Cubanish. He did'n't really succeed until Pixar, when he became a better manager according to insiders. Mac was a failure, Next was a failure.

I believe they're both equally as important to the company. There would be no Apple without Steve Jobs and there would be no Apple without Wozniak. Wozniak made the computer but without Jobs, Woz wouldn't know how to make it user friendly. Just like how you said Jobs didn't really succeed until Pixar (which I don't really agree with because making a billion-dollar company at the age of 30 is a success in my book; nonetheless I see your point), Woz left Apple in 1985 and then in the 2000s tried to start various other companies which failed. To summarise, both have pros and cons, and I think both played a very important role in Apple. In the end, in my opinion, they're both wouldn't be where they are now without the other.
@PlateletRichGel

Let me clarify that. Steve's falures began with Lisa, then Macintosh, then Next. He finally succeeded with Pixar. The First Apple II was not user friendly in today's sense of the word. The Macintosh was, but it was a failure financially. The apple II revenue supported development of the Mac, and Steve's idea was to kill the Apple II and focus the entire company on Macintosh. In that sense, it was a failure. And that's what forced him out.

Steve W. proves that age is a function of the mind. He speaks with the passion and enthusiasm of a 25 year old. His excitement is very inspiring and contageous. Every young child should study his story proving that anything is possible and the best is yet to come if one only goes after what they like doing. Thank you Woz for being you!

+Jonathan Saunders Wozniak's true talent was that he was obsessive and the effort that he put in showed in his technical designs but that's not what drives Apple today. It's about style and branding now and Wozniak just wouldn't be right for that. Yes, Apple products might be more bug free if they were as technically obsessive as Wozniak was but that would only mean the new products wouldn't get to market in a timely fashion. Remember that his last project at Apple was a Universal TV remote control years before people even knew what a Universal remote was, problem is that what he came up with was so technically difficult to program that it was essentially unusable, of course he also never finished the design to his satisfaction because he realized that he didn't need to be so obsessive over his work anymore, that he could just enjoy the millions that he had instead, so he just dropped it all.

Most people don't realize the engineering feat that Woz managed to pull off almost by himself. He designed, built and programmed an entire personal computer before everyone else did, WITH peripherals and expansion ports on a shoestring budget 4 years before IBM did with an army of engineers. THAT is 50% of why this man is a legend. The other 50% of legend status is that he remained humble and even gave away most of his shares to other early Apple employees. He's still super rich, but had he kept his entire share of stocks he'd worth today more than Elon Musk and Bill Gates combined! There's no tech geek that doesn't have uber respect for Woz. He EARNED that respect. And lets face it, he's Silicon Valley's cool uncle.

The Apple ][ was about as big as it gets. It was one of the main reasons that IBM got into the personal computer market (another long story). It was also the computer of choice for many schools, introducing a generation to computers. So it may have been small, but it had a big impact.

Woz was genius! Super nice guy too. I read his book, "iWoz" and really enjoyed it. Accessible, relatable, and from the heart. He attempted to do many things after the Apple II, and although some of them didn't work out great or lost him a bunch of money... they were all things he did because he had a desire to benefit others. So glad he survived his plane crash, and regained the ability to remember. Could've been a tragic end.

Woz was an absolute genius at PCB layout and TTL logic. Steve Jobs had once worked at Atari. Nolan Bushnell was complaining about the production costs of their coin-op games. This was pre-microprocessor when everything was made with discrete logic. Each game used 100-150 TTL chips and he wanted to cut the cost on the game Breakout. Jobs enlisted Woz and Woz came up with a design that used only 47 or 48 chips! The only problem was that Atari couldn't use it. His design was so clever and used so many subtle layout tricks that the Atari engineers couldn't replicate it for mass production! They had to redesign it, and it ended up using 100+ chips. On a sad side-note, Bushnell offered $700 for the design and a $5,000 bonus for using less than 50 chips. Jobs gave Wos the $350 50/50 split of the $700, but kept the 5 grand for himself and never told Woz.
